Scientists are exploring leading-edge technologies that could transform how cancer is studied, detected and treated by catching it earlier, when it’s more treatable and survival rates are highest.
A new review by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute and other universities highlights how advances in New Approach Methodologies and tissue engineering are offering powerful new tools to study the earliest stages of cancer development.
The review is published in the journal Nature Reviews Bioengineering.
New Approach Methodologies use human-relevant technologies such as in vitro tests, organoids, organs-on-a-chip and computational modeling to replace, reduce or refine animal testing.
These lab-grown models replicate the environment inside the human body and could unlock clues about how cancer begins.
